Sometimes I feel they are not as fresh as the ones from Bloomers stores. Love that they are locally owned and Canadian chain

Parking can be a bit busy but usually okay. The service both times has been patient and kind to explain the various options. We decided to go with a milk cake with half lotus and half Dubai chocolate. The cake is soaking in milk which gives it a "wet cake" texture. I imagine it may not be everyone's favorite texture but has decent flavor. The crunchy topping contrasts against the soft, moist cake. The lotus has that nice cookie flavor and crunch while the Dubai chocolate with pistachio offers that chocolate and nutty flavor. I prefer the latter but both are good. We also got a matcha strawberry latte to go. Both really nice to look at and to drink. The matcha has good flavor without being overly bitter while the strawberry provides that fruity sweetness to the drink. Overall, it's a pricier experience but I enjoyed it and will be back.

Tips: - This place has Dubai chocolate bars. They are the…read morebest ones that I have had! - An individual knafeh takes roughly ten minutes to make. You can choose to get it either soft or crispy. You can also get pistachio or chocolate sauce on the side. - The iced tiramisu latte was excellent! A recent Yelp elite event introduced me to Kanafani Sweets. I returned for its Dubai chocolate bars. Kanafani Sweets is located in a plaza on the northeast corner of Warden Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East. It's in the same plaza as the Potato Bar. I had no problem finding parking. I pulled into a parking spot in front of the store and walked in. The order pickup area was in front of me. I read the signs and the order area was a few steps deeper into the store. I had the nicest woman who cheerfully said hi. She was helpful with answering my question and offering suggestions. She showed me the qashtuta, which was milk cake. She let me know that I could either get a solid flavour, such as Biscoff, or do three different flavours, such as Biscoff, hazelnut, and Dubai chocolate. Wow! My Yelp experience consisted of having knafeh, which I absolutely love. She said that it could be made soft or crispy. I love crispy. She also let me know that I could get either pistachio or chocolate sauce on the side. I went with the former. For the drink, she shared what was popular. The iced tiramisu latte was one of them. I love tiramisu. I was down checking out an iced drink version. I got a buzzer for my order. The knafeh takes roughly ten minutes to make. I sat in a comfy chair near the order area. It was nice to relax after driving for over an hour to get here. I used the washroom. There's an individual stall for women. It was clean, cheerful, and pleasant. I used it again just before I left to run a few errands before heading home. I watched the buzzer light up. I headed to the pickup area. The nice woman had my order ready. She let me know that I got a brownie bite on the house. It was so generous! I thanked her and headed to my table to chow down. The iced tiramisu latte was exceptional. I got a lady finger that I could dip into my drink. The espresso was a good strength with the cocoa. It had milk. You can substitute the espresso for decaf, and the milk for a dairy-free or lactose-free substitute. I didn't bother. It was nicely iced and a good size to wash down everything that I ate. I loved the complimentary brownie bite. The brownie core was delicious. The crispy exterior provided a nice contrast. It was enjoyable to devour! I loved the knafeh. It already had syrup on it. I got syrup on the side, as well as pistachio sauce. I poured the pistachio sauce over the knafeh. So good! The knafeh had cheese inside. It was stretchy and hot. Over time, the cheese lost its stretchy factor as it cooled. It was yummy with the right balance of crispiness and chopped pistachios with the pistachio sauce. The syrup made the knafeh slightly sweet. The sweetness was perfect for my liking. The knafeh was excellent. I have been trying to find a decent place that makes Dubai chocolate bars. Before visiting this store, most places made their bars on their own, but they were too soft. It was as if I looked at the bar and it melted on its own out of fear. I bought a bar of Dubai chocolate Lotus to enjoy. I paid with a credit card and included a tip because staff are so helpful and friendly. This bar was excellent. The crispy filling had Lotus cookie spread in it. The milk chocolate held everything together. I was impressed. I will be back to get the regular bar next. It's such a gem of a Palestinian dessert place. I'll be back. (439)

Skylights are also a nice touch and make the space feel more airy. There's a good selection of pastries and cookies available, and I'd highly recommend the ginger brew coffee! As a heads up, they don't have wifi - but this is a good spot for doing offline work (some counters are too small for a laptop but would work for a book) or having coffee and talking.

On one of my last TIFF days, I was on the hunt for a coffee place I hadn't tried yet and then I…read moreremembered HotBlack. It's been around for a long time, so I had high hopes. And for the most part, it didn't disappoint. I was very intrigued by the Ginger Brew Latte, so I ordered the small version of that unusual-sounding concoction. I also noticed they had a toast slathered in cheese and egg as a breakfast option, so I got that too. The coffee is...interesting. The ginger flavor is very prominent, but it basically works in the context of the coffee. It's not necessarily something I would ever order again, but I enjoyed it well enough. The aforementioned toast was decent, as well. I tasted like it had been sitting around for a little while, and it was probably dryer than I would've preferred, but the sourdough bread combined with the cheese and egg was hard to resist. The service was friendly, too. I can see why HotBlack has managed to endure over the years.

The space is thoughtfully designed as great spot to settle in for hours, whether you're working or just relaxing with a good book. With ample seating and free WiFi, it's easy to spend time here, and the added bonus of a customer washroom makes it convenient for those planning to stay a while. For busier days, the takeout window adds extra convenience, allowing you to grab your drink on the go. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring your experience is always pleasant. Claudia's is also an excellent choice for non-coffee drinkers, like myself. They offer a wide selection of drinks beyond coffee such as hot chocolate, tea, lattes, cider, and rotating seasonal specials that keep things interesting. I've tried a few different drinks here, and each one has been just as enjoyable as the last. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or not, Claudia's has something to satisfy every taste. However, the café isn't considered wheelchair accessible as you are required up go up a couple of steps you reach the door.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I didn't have any coffee and was about to catch my flight in a couple of hours. I didn't want the generic tim hortons or balzac's coffee and fortunately Neo Coffee Bar popped up. What intrigued me was the asian coffee bar experience. I think it just refers to the matcha inspired baked goods, which were delicious in their own way. I got a large coffee and a matcha cream puff to boot. The coffee was standard good however the cream puff was REALLY good. Cream was light and airy with a hint of matcha and the puff pastry wasn't stale. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall for a coffee and a pastry, the out of pocket was around $8. I enjoyed the cream puff alot which would alone make me come back.
